Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Node-RED AMTRON Node

Platform MIT license Build

German is the main Language in this projects documentation.
You can find the english version in the second part of this document.

Deutsche Dokumentation

In diesem Projekt wurde eine Node für Node-RED realisiert, mit der eine Elektroauto-Ladestation gesteuert werden kann. Unterstützt werden die Modelle AMTRON XTRA und PREMIUM des Herstellers MENNEKES.

Diese Ladestationen verfügen ab Software Version 1.13 über ein ModbusTCP Interface, auf das diese Node zugreift und so die Ladestation über Ethernet oder WLAN steuert. Das Softwareupdate stellt der Hersteller auf seiner Website für alle Kunden kostenlos zum Download bereit.

Ladestation konfigurieren

Damit die Ladestation über ModbusTCP gesteuert werden kann, muss das Protokoll erst in den Einstellungen des Geräts aktiviert werden. Mit einem Browser kann man über die Adresse http://AMTRON-IP-Address:25000/ das Web Interface des AMTRON aufrufen. Nachdem man sich mit der Installation PIN angemeldet hat, kann man auf der Seite "Installation Settings" die Option "Modbus TCP Server" aktivieren.

Je nach Anwendungsfall müssen ggf. weitere Werte im Web Interface konfiguriert werden.

Die AMTRON-Node in Node-RED installieren

Um die aktuelle Version dieser Node zu installieren, öffnet man die Node-RED Oerfläche und navigiert zu "Menü" > "Manage Palette" und sucht dort nach node-red-contrib-amtron-wallbox.

Alternativ kann man das Paket auch mit dem folgenden Aufruf über die Kommandozeile installieren.

npm i node-red-contrib-amtron-wallbox

Nach einem Neustart findet man in der Palette die beiden Nodes "AMTRON in" und "AMTRON out".

Dokumentation des Herstellers

Die offizielle Dokumentation der ModbusTCP Schnittstelle wurde von MENNEKES auf der Homepage veröffentlicht.

English Documentation

This Node provides access to the MENNEKES AMTRON XTRA and PREMIUM models. These wallboxes contain the so called HCC3 controller, which can be connected to a local network via Ethernet or (depending on the device model) WiFi.

Configure Wallbox

The AMTRON has to run software version 1.13 or newer and the Modbus TCP interface has to be enabled first. To do so, open the AMTRON Service Interface at http://AMTRON-IP-Address:25000/ and log in with the installation PIN. Switch to the Installation Settings page and enable the Modbus TCP option.

The recent software release can be downloaded for free from the manufacturer website.

Add this Node to Node-RED

To install the stable version of this node, use the "Menu" > "Manage palette" option and search for node-red-contrib-amtron-wallbox.

Alternatively, you may execute the following command in your Node-RED user directory.

npm i node-red-contrib-amtron-wallbox

Restart your Node-RED instance and check your palette for the "AMTRON in" and "AMTRON out" node types.

Manufacturer Documentation

The manufacturer of the AMTRON wallboxes provides an official documentation of the Modbus TCP interface. This documentation and the recent software version can be downloaded here for software release 1.13.
